We find a hidden significance in the words ... In the following pages we see how an old song takes on a new meaning. 1 9 V ) wr -• ■Ci v T tateA - i iy a S a i - iua oa - - long-... fo -aetu - e ty mile aud tea .., 1l y Lv� -.a l Ml lltj =ilfj m T i 5 At ' - M c .•t-Vl:‘: s.

Hale Regardless of the times there always seems to be men of ability and stamina to fill positions of leadership and responsibility. Men seem to be made for the job at hand no matter what it might be. Evansville College has made remarkable progress in the past few years in the face of trying times: students, courses and schools added while of a necessity others were dropped. It ha ' s managed well in a time when advanced education was going through one of its most trying periods. It has even seen the dream of its founding fathers come into feasible reality as plans are laid and funds collected for the Evansville College of tomorrow. It has ndt only continued but has now a foundation for greater and more important values. A man of extraordinary stamina, push,” desire and capabilities was required to do this for Evansville College. The College was fortunate in having such a man of experience, education, travel, strength and push as the President. To him goes much of the credit for our progress; we pay our respects to Lincoln B.

The class elected C. Armstrong, W. Bailey, J. Pate and B.

Hell Week made even the best ones slow down . . . bruises and knocks, notes and ideas, we stumbled on and came out, June, 1941, mighty proud sophomores. . . Came September ’41 ... the class was smaller but just as determined ... off to a fast start with Hauck, Fischer, Hartman and Hall as officials . . . our turn to “boss” the rhinie-potted freshies and we really made up for what was done to us . . . while Marthagene Ware was made football queen, Joyce Grigsby proudly wore the cov¬ eted Phi Zeta Sweetheart Pin . . . football saw the fellows out there working hard for EC . . . came the showdown, DECEMBER 7 . . . the basketball team was well supplied with men from the class . . in Home Economics, Stinson and Bodishbaugh took honors . . . debate found Lambert and Ware speaking forth . . . we discovered Wilson was a composer when “Ace-Capades” blossomed . . . assistant editor of the Crescent, Engert; of the LinC, Frieberg . . . both the Crescent and the LinC used other talent that was ours . . . Moye served as Tri Mu president . . . Alpha Phi Omega used more of our men ... in the YW and YM, Sansom and Ancona did their share . . . while WAA drew Hoeltzel and Lambert as officers . . . Kappa Chi inducted some likely new men . . . came spring and a breather. . . V ' Came September ' 42 . . . officers were Ellert, Rietman, Green, and Acos . . . basket¬ ball saw our men out in front . . . editors: LinC, McKeown; Crescent, Heady . . . Business Manager of the Crescent, Roessler . . . Fischer, Stinson and Etheridge “cooked” in Home Economics . . . Prexies of Alpha Phi Omega were Roessler and Clark . . . other Presidents were: Sigs, Hoeltzel; Thetas, Green; YW, Stinson . . . Lambert and Baker took care of debate . . . the choir made good use of many voices from the class . . . while these Juniors became Campus Notables: Bock, Hamburg, Heady, Hoeltzel, Lambert, Pate and Williams . . . beauty still reigned as Bodish- baugh became Junior Prom Queen . . . with heads high we took time out to ready ourselves to be sophisticated seniors. . . Came September ' 43 . . . things started out with a bang as we helped in the Third War Loan Drive with Hodapp, Hoeltzel, Lambert and Silber as our leaders ... to keep the faculty straight we had Hodapp, Hoeltzel and Goeke sitting on S.G.A.; the latter two replaced by Grigsby and Silber at the mid-year mark . . . Presidents: Phi Zeta, Silber and Neucks; Sigs, Stitt and McCool; Castalian, Fischer . . . officers of the class were Lane, Etheridge, Green and Hayes . . . other presidents included: YW, Sansom; YM, Silber; Thespians and Tri Mu, Hamburg; Catholic Club, Rietman; Kappa Chi, Niehaus; Choir, Eades . . .

December, May, and August . . . oh, me!!! Comes now graduation . . . from EC into a world that is rather jumbled. We weath¬ ered a rather hard storm in the four years that we spent at EC. Each year came and we saw fewer faces that we remembered. As the years passed we saw many more faces disappear into this man’s army. We were proud that we had men and women big enough to tackle the job but we were awful sorry to see them leave the halls of EC. Lessons grew harder as the faces began to be fewer and fewer. We kept fighting here, just as many of them were fighting out there. We read each day of the heroic exploits of our men in the face of danger on the battlefront. Many were the happy returns as we pushed forward on all fronts; many were the drawn faces as MEN LOST lists appeared. We took it all in a manner of stride until . . . “George Wimsatt Dies in Plane Crash.” Then it was that we really realized that EC was at war. It made us realize that this was only the beginning and that we would hear more such stories the longer the war lasted so we determined in our minds to make it as short as possible, so that too many stories like this did not reach the ears of people throughout our nation or any other nation. To him and any others who might lose their lives we pay our tribute in this our final say at EC. Now we go into a larger and harder school to apply the theory that we learned here. We’ve a great job on our hands and we intend to take every advantage that comes our way and many that we make for ourselves. Peace will come again, soon. When it comes, we’re going to have a reunion and determine that never again will such things happen to a generation of people. When the reunion will be, we aren’t sure, but where it will be we are sure. It will be at the dedication of the first new building on the campus of EC. We’ll be there to help Out however we can, the class that Began Life at ’40. . . 18 COOPER ANCONA A.B., Chemistry Pi Epsilon Phi, 1, 2, 3, 4, Secretary 2, Treasurer 3, 4; Y.M.C.A.

Marriage, patriotism, and the speeded-up educational program reduced our numbers but the “old faithfuls” car¬ ried on! Our officers were James Bohrer—president, Pat Hallinan — vice president, Ruth Joyce Johnston — secretary, and Marjorie Heylmun — treasurer; but of these only Pat remains — the others decided to join the ranks of the Seniors. . . The Juniors were well represented in all branches of campus activity ... In fact, one almost could say that we took the lead . . . For example, Joyce Grigsby and Pauline Neucks, co-editors of the LinC were both Juniors . . . Other literary minded classmates were Eleanor Wright who served as business manager of the Crescent and Paul Caywood, one of the columnists (the Wash Man) on the Crescent . . . Serving on the Women’s Council were Pat Hallinan and Joy Lee Mundy . . . After the SGA secretary graduated at Christmas, Joyce Grigsby was elected to fill that position . . . President of the Thetas was Marjorie Shelley . . . Gracie DeLong was treasurer of the YW. Junior Members of the All-Girl choir were Pat Nesbit, Gracie DeLong, Janet Frank, Arlene David, Pat Hallinan, Dorothy Haynes, Peg Reising and Bettye Irons Baugh . . . Secretarial Club officers included Miriam Tirmenstein as vice-president, Esther Kaetzel as secretary, and Pauline Neucks as treasurer . . . The athletic juniors who held offices in WAA were Virginia Mattingley, president; Miriam Tirmenstein, sec¬ retary; and Marjorie Shelley, treasurer . . . Secretary of ACE was Arlene David — participating in the Thespian production “Ladies in Retirement” were Paul Cay¬ wood and Pauline Neucks. Paul was also secretary-treasurer of the Thespians — Treasurer of the Catholic Club was Pat Hallinan . . . Pat Nesbit was an Alpha Phi Omega — Junior members of the Debate team were Pauline Neucks, Pat Hallinan, and Marjorie Shelley . . . Charles Buck and Jean Lindenschmidt were elected to Phi Beta Chi and Jean was president of this Honorary Society. . . Juniors who served on the Student-Faculty Federation Committees were: Pat Halli¬ nan — Assembly; Gracie DeLong — Fine Arts; John Grant — Promotion; Paul Cay¬ wood— Public Speech; Pauline Neucks — Publications; and Miriam Tirmenstein — Welfare. . . Representing us on the Dean’s List were Bettye Irons Baugh, Charles Buck, Esther Kaetzel, Jean Lindenschmidt, Virginia Mattingley, Joy Lee Mundy, and Miriam Tirmenstein. . . Diamonds were copped off by Joyce Grigsby from Eddie Williams and Esther Kaetzel from Clark Hardy, while Bettye Lou Irons became Mrs. Evan Baugh and Nancy Ann Cox became Mrs. Leighton Taylor. . . In spite of smaller numbers and fewer social events the end of our Junior year leaves pleasant memories of happy school days . . . And next year, why we’ll be Seniors! tV 29 yccttionA Charles Buck Arlene David Grace DeLong Janet Frank Grace Gehlhausen Irene Giesecke John Grant Joyce Grigsby Patricia Hallinan Dorothy Haynes Marjorie Heylmun Esther Kaetzel 30 Jean Lindenschmidt Virginia Mattingly Joy Lee Mundy Patricia Nesbit Pauline Neucks Peggy Reising Marjorie Shelley Fred Stephenson Miriam Tirmenstein Eleanor Wright 31 S yfc Qm ne4 The motto of the sophomore class might well be “Don ' t give up the ship, for it has had more than one obstacle to meet and overcome. Those who were not called to the colors or did not leave school to work have gone ahead full- speed, some of them sailing through the sophomore class before schedule into the junior harbor. The result was a small but significant group built for action and speed. Credit for the smooth sailing of the class is due in part to the excellent leader¬ ship of the General Commanding staff. Admiral William Neal, Vice-Admiral Ruth Bernhardt Rear-Admiral Patricia Nesbit and Commander Marjorie Shelley. With these superior officers charting the course, the other members of the sophomore crew each following his own line of duty, went ahead to carry out details on committees, clubs, publications, and other activities, in a manner which could only insure “total victories. Examine the log for yourself: Faced early in the year with a nonconforming freshman class, the sophomores had to take it in their stride, but not without first acquainting some of the frosh males with the goldfish who reside northwest of the building. Various organizations on the campus drew heavily on the resources of the sophomore class for leadership and support. Both the editor and assistant editor of the Crescent, Ruth Newcom and Pat Adams, and also the assistant business manager, Ruth Bernhardt, belong to the sophs. Ellen Jane Shaw, Francile MacDonald, and Dot Steiner assisted them as re¬ porters. Other journalistic-minded students served on the ' 44 LinC staff. Glenn Cox handled the position as business manager of the LinC like an old salt. Important organizations on the grounds have these sophomores as prexies: Dorothy Julian, Alpha Phi Delta; Ruth Newcom, Tri Mu; and Francile MacDonald, Women ' s Choir (first semester). Dramatics was not forgotten, and Thespians in the sophomore class who ap¬ peared in one or both of the two major productions were Corolla Flentke, Curtis Begert, Sam Kellough, Bob Miller, and Ruth Newcom, who served as vice-president of the organization. Cooperating with members from other classes and the faculty, these sophomores, active on Student-Faculty committees, helped plan the strategy of E.C. ' s extra¬ curricular life: Robb Kell, Bill Neal, Eileen Collins, Francile MacDonald, Ellen Jane Shaw, Bill Elmendorf, Glenn Cox, Ruth Newcom, Curtis Begert, Ruth Bernhardt, and Dorothy Steiner. The “brain trusts of the outfit, those who made a 2.5 average or above during the first semester, and consequently were placed on the Dean’s List, were: Ruth Bernhardt, Curtis Begert, Martha Dunbar, Francile MacDonald, and Corolla Flentke. YWCA had Francrle MacDonald as vice-president, to which office always falls the job of planning the annual Big-Little Sister activities. Members of the cabinet of the YW included these chairmen: Ellen Jane Shaw, service; Norma Jean Koch, social; and Marilyn Miller, worship. With these and other accomplishments to their credit, the sophomores of 1943- 44 are ready to close the log, still looking toward the future — toward the time when they shall make an even more impressive record as juniors and seniors. ☆ 33 Roberto Aycinena Patricia Adams Doris Ann Beck Jane Bedient Roth Bernhardt Curtis Begert 2 $£ Paul Caywood Eileen Collins Glenn Cox Mary Dannettell Elmo Dockery Martha Dunbar William Elmendorf Corolla Flentke Clifford Heilman Elowese Hurt Dorothy Julian Samuel Keilough Chestine Kishline Janet Luhring Francile MacDonald Eugene Martin Marilyn E.

The year began with a red hot wiener roast at the college oven on a cold windy night (brrrrl) and the membership drive resulted in adding many new girls to the club . . . The football tournament was won by the upperclassmen, beating the freshmen 12-0 . . . Likewise the volleyball tournament — could be those juniors are superwomen! . . . The usual badminton tournaments and the annual classic, the softball game between the faculty and W.A.A. were held . . . And so we come to the end of another school year. Debate activities for this year were curtailed by several prohibitive cir¬ cumstances . . . Gasoline rationing preventing the use of private cars for transporta¬ tion . . . cancellation of the Tau Kappa Alpha Congress which has pro¬ vided an excellent opportunity for discussion in the past . . . and failure to secure a ride with the basketball team going to other colleges. Yet, with all this trouble, Dr. Van Keuren, the sponsor, arranged sev¬ eral events to keep the speakers in trim . . . Among these events was a debate concerning the proposition: Resolved, That the United States shall cooperate in establishing and maintaining an international police force, upon defeat of the axis . . . Several luncheon club discussions, radio broadcasts, and an assembly program whereby the audience was allowed to participate followed. The members included Pat Hallinan, Leroy Hodapp, Dick Julian, Char¬ lotte Lambert, Pauline Neucks, Ellen Jane Shaw, Marjorie Shelley, Fred Silber, and Dorothy Steiner. 63 as® E=: ie4cwt For the first time in a number of years, both the editor and business manager of The Crescent were women . . . With Ruth Newcom as editor and Eleanor Wright as business manager, the twenty-fifth volume of the weekly publication found itself further streamlined with a modern five column masthead and futura type headlines . . . “Off’n On” changed by-lines several times the first semester . . . Ruth Joyce Johnston finally taking over in the last round . . . Marjorie Shelley of¬ ficial dirt digger the second term . . . Bernice Hamburg and Anne Lane teamed to pen ‘‘In Name Only” for the first fourteen issues, after which Paul Caywood or¬ iginated ‘‘The Wash— Everything Comes Out Here” . . . R. E. Olmsted tripled as faculty advisor, photographer and columnist, writing the ‘‘College Service Roll” . . . Credit hours for Crescent work were received only by students enrolled in Mr. Olmsted ' s journalism class . . . Bert Horn filled position of sports editor . . . Jean Hayes and Eunice Potter edited society news . . . Wanda Bacon and Pat Smith wrote the style column, a paid advertisement ... In December Ruth Bernhardt was elected assistant business manager, and Pat Adams took over the duties of assist¬ ant editor in February . . . Pat will be in charge of activities in The Crescent office next year . . . Francile MacDonald, Ellen Jane Shaw, Dorothy Steiner, John Clew- low, Anne Lane, Charlotte Lambert, Jeanne Roesner, and Jane Bacon were included in the reporters roster . . . The Crescent was not only a local organ this year . . . Had readers Jiterally around the world . . . Each week approximately six hundred copies were mailed to former students who are in the service . . . About one hundred of the papers went to foreign countries. Friday Noon — Crescent Time Came the 1944 LinC . . . and something new has been added . . . Not only to the LinC itself, but to the college in general . . . There is a different atmosphere around, particularly on the second floor where Dr. Van Keuren is working in the hall, having been shoved out of his of¬ fice by a numerically superior force . . . People work¬ ing on the LinC have lost their personal identity, and become known only as “Members.of the LinC Staff.” . . . For example, who knows G. Cox as G. Cox? ... He is known only as the fellow with the dirty white LinC under one arm, and a gleam in one eye . . . P. Neucks, who used to spout volumes upon the slightest provocation, says nothing now except, “Where’s Mr. Olmsted, and the Camera?” . . . J. Grigsby, whose vocabulary formerly contained words like “innovations” uses only seven words, “Hand it in on Monday, and I mean Monday!” (Count Monday only once) . . . But seriously, and contrary to public opinion, peo¬ ple did hand their stories in, and usually on time ... A fact for which we’re eternally grateful . . . We’re taking the time and space right here and now to say “Thank you so much” to . . . Fred Silber, Grace DeLong, Curtis Begert, and Dot Hebbeler for writing the class stories . . . Eunice Potter for the Calendar . . . Leroy Hodapp for being Sports Editor . . . Pat Adams for the de¬ scriptions of the professors . . . Betty Steinback for typing the stories . . . Francile MacDonald for assisting edit the stories . . . to all the other reporters . . . And special thanks to Mr. Olmsted for his help in the servicemen’s copy, and his willingness to drop everything to take a picture ... to Dr. Van Keuren for his sagacity, dictionary, and office . . . to K. K. Knecht for our division pages. Advisor Dr. VanKeuren Knecht Division Flash Bulb Olmsted -—. ' ■ A i F m 4 : . H I i l tipi ’ u t i, fit Secretariat Science The Secretarial Club was organized in 1938 to bring about a closer relationship among secretarial majors and minors . . . Mrs. Lucile Springer, the club sponsor, gave her annual spaghetti supper in September — which was limited to the freshman and senior girls this year because of meat rationing ... In October we had our get-acquainted party, and November found 18 new members being initiated into the club . . . “Santa” arrived with his gifts at the December potluck . . . We elected a new vice-president and a new treasurer after Marilou Stitt and Nancy Cox left in December . . . The January program was devoted to a panel discussion . . . Mabel, Wheeler, an alum, was guest speaker for the Valentine meeting . . . Evelyn Hoeltzel, last year ' s perfect secretary, returned in March to give us some of her newly acquired “tips” from the business world . . . The selection of the year’s Perfect Secretary, the most important event of the year, concluded the activities of the club for 1943-44 . . . Officers for the year were: Eleanor McCool, presi¬ dent; Miriam Tirmenstein, vice-president; Esther Kaetzel, secretary; and Pauline Neucks, treasurer. The days of the bespectacled colorless school-marm are past . . . Don’t believe it? — take a look at the picture ... 35 of the future school teachers of our nation are beginning their professional activities prematurely by belonging to the college branch of the Association of Childhood Education . . . This organization meets once a month at the homes of members to discuss topics of interest to future teachers (that could cover a lot of territory), and to en¬ tertain themselves (Miss Jones might say this would mean eating, remembering the spaghetti Bock and Heylmun cooked at her house) . . . Christmas found members filling stockings for soldiers . . . also Goeke, Pate, Williams and Wilson graduating and beginning their careers — Pate as Mrs. Cope in Chicago . . . Meetings, as usual, were livened by tales of the practice teachers and the perpetual grading of papers . . . Bridge party so successful last year that it was repeated .this year, with alums of last year as guests . . . Capable officers for the year: Lambert, president; Pate, vice-presi¬ dent; David, secretary; Bock, treasurer; Koch, publicity chairman. 67 £1 | ii Co-Captain Charles Specht (No. 15) in action Coach Emerson Henke J. Athletics in Evansville College for the school year of 1943-44 . . . are you kidding? ... of course we did have some pretty rough games in gym class . . . and Cox (as he entered the fish pond for the 3rd time during freshman week) agreed that there were still some fairly athletic sophs around . . . but as for intercollegiate athletics — well, we did have a basketball team . . . Thanks to the Navy, we had enough air cadets enrolled in the college to keep our ball team flying t . . until the Navy itself decided to fly . . . and moved their camp from Henderson, Ky. to (CENSORED) . . . With Wild-Bill Slyker building Thunderbolts . . . (when he wasn ' t running for sheriff) . . . the college started a draft for a new coach . . . Dr. Strayhorn said he ' d coach them if they would help him clean the building early in the afternoon so that he could make practice on time ... no go ... so the dawn broke . . . and we obtained the Right Honorable Emerson Henke, Doctor of Hardwood Tactics . . . We had a coach . . . Now to get a team . . . Holdovers . . . what are they in war time? . . . Hootsie Duvall had shipped off for Tokyo . . . Galloway was doing his ball playing for Uncle Sam . . . (and the leading scorer in his company) . . . Michael Shayne Ellert (the defective defective) was also working for his uncle ... Ed Williams was tending to his duties as a Second Looie . . . (when a 68 not writing letters to the editor) . . . Captain-elect Jack Chambers was now coach-manager-player-waterboy for his company team in the Army . . . Oh Yes . . . the holdovers . . . We had Bill Neal and Charlie Specht, who won their freshman numerals in ' 43 . . . they were elected co-captains and we were off on a basketball season . . . the rest of the team? . . . (yes, we had more) . . . Bert Horn, a freshman from Bosse . . . and he did all right for himself too . . . Brice Rumble . . . who started out like a second Gus Doerner . . . and ended up just like Gus ... in the air corps . . . Jack Reisinger, another freshman who upheld the honor of their class . . . where were the juniors and seniors? . . . Bill Hebbeler, fourth of the rhinies . . . who also got Doerneritis and found himself flying for the army forces.

Then followed a little road trip to Indiana State . . . and a sad trip home . . . usuns—37 . . . theyuns—62 . . . Rumble got 5 fielders this time to lead the team. Back home again to try and reach high enough to touch Valpo . . . What we needed was someone about 8 ft. 6 in. to come near their big boys . . . result . . . 66-34 . . . and the 66 wasn ' t ours . . . Now we journeyed down south to take on Uncle Eddie Diddle ' s Hilltoppers from Western Ken¬ tucky . . . these foreign trips always did make our boys jit¬ tery ... a 37-31 loss followed but not until Diddle had worn out both arms throwing his famed towel around the gym . . . We came back home then . . . and were plenty glad to do it too . . . Southern Illinois Normal provided the opposi¬ tion and the boys got some self-confidence back ... it only lasted during the first half however, and in the last half the lllini pulled ahead for a 55-35 victory . . . don ' t give up . . . we ' ll win one before the season ' s over . . . Yes, we had a yelling section . . . and the Aces took courage and stepped on Louisville’s toes 41-40 . . . Neal poking in 7 field goals and 3 gratis tosses to aid the cause . . . Neal teamed up with Timmons in the next one ... 7 goals apiece . . . op¬ position — Central Normal . . . we ' re getting better . . . won this one 47-39 ... in fact . . . we were at our best . . . that was the last victory . . . two road trips followed . . . one to Southern Illinois and one to Louisville . . . but to no avail . . . There were seven more games on the schedule . . . you can see we would have had a better than .500 season had we been able to finish . . . but with Specht in the army . . . Rumble in the air corps . . . along with Hebbeler ... it seemed a little too much to expect out of Neal, Horn, and Reisinger to finish the season all by themselves. The Navy moved out and so did basketball . . . Bouquets to the whole team . . . they played under the worst of conditions . . . sometimes . . . practicing in two different groups and then playing together the night of the game . . . They played good ball . . . maybe they didn ' t make the best record in the school’s history . . . but they kept basketball at E.C. going and it won’t be long until the whole gang will be back . . . the National Tourney at Kansas City will again see Evansville . . . our old friends the Hilltoppers from down south will feel our sting again . . . DePauw will again find out her sister school may be smaller but oh how much more mighty . . . and the whole state will again see the Aces back in their pre-war position in the state race . . . Number One . . . Congratulations also to Coach Henke ... he did a swell job . . . put a team on the floor as long as possible . . . not just a team . . . but a good one. Co-Captain Neal Freshman Bert Horn 7 7 ZZ C T-4 Seventy - - tony tAc AiyA - tv ty 6u l MMct tA t (Mctc • • • _-- ' T SotiUtAviUc %efutice ttc t i 7 On (?olleye ?KMt Although handicapped through not having dormitories for housing service men, Evansville College was able to do its full part in the war effort by conducting a Naval Aviation W.T.S. Center for the United States Navy. When the government first inquired whether the College would be able to train service men, a quick survey of the housing situation indicated that nothing could be done. A V-12 Pre-medical Unit of 200 men was passed up because no housing accommodations were available. But since September, 1939, Evansville College had been giving ground school instruction to pilots in training under the Civil Aero¬ nautics Authority pilot training program. On July 1, 1942, this be¬ came a military program, serving both the Army and the Navy. Quotas were small, however, and the men were housed at the Y.M.C.A. i ' SWf ' f When the Navy indicated that it wished to expand its training at Evansville College, President Hale hit upon the idea of leasing the C.C.C. Camp at Audubon Park, near Henderson, Ky., about eight miles from the College, but in another state. The Navy approved, and early in April, 1943, the Evansville College Naval Aviation Training Center was occupied. On May 24 the Center was commissioned. Present for the commissioning were Governor Henry F. Schricker of Indiana, Governor Keen Johnson of Kentucky, Commander W. H. Gardiner, Officer in Charge of the Naval Aviation Cadet Selection Board, St. Louis, and many other naval officers. Evansville College conducted the War Training Service portion of cadet training. Men were received after preliminary training at Mur¬ ray State Teachers College, Kentucky. From Evansville College, after eight to twelve weeks of training, they went on to the University of Iowa for further training. Training at Evansville included ground school subjects — including navigation, aerology, airplane engines, aero-dynamics, code, and physical training. Here also the Cadets received their first 40 to 50 hours of flight training, this beings conducted by Evansville Flight Service at the Evansville auxiliary field, later named Memorial Field. Lieut. Lee H. Goebel, USNR, was in charge of the Center for the Navy. His assistant was Lieut, (jg) Edward Pomeroy, USNR. Presi¬ dent Lincoln B. Hale was the Co-ordinator of the entire program with Lieut. Col. Lyle V. Courtney (ret.) as associate co-ordinator. Prof. Emerson Henke gave up his teaching in the Department of Economics to become Center manager in charge of housing, feed¬ ing, and maintenance. Instruction was given at the Center by four ground school instructors. The Center was officially closed January 21 when it was an¬ nounced that the Navy was able to conduct all its aviation without the help of civilian agencies. During the period from July 1, 1942, until Jan. 21, 1944, Evansville College trained 335 pilots for the Navy. Many of these men are already in combat service. Since Cadets were housed and instructed off the campus, little evidence of the program was to be seen at the College. But through¬ out this period, the College rendered a valuable service to the Navy and to the Nation. Scenes at the commissioning of the Col¬ lege Naval Aviation Training Center. As the school year of 1943-44 draws to a close approximately 800 Evansville College men — former students and graduates — are scattered around the world on the fighting fronts and in training camps, on the land, in the air, and on the sea — as well as under it in submarines. Since Evansville College (as separate from its predecessor, Moores Hill College) graduated its first class in 1921, nearly all of her gradudtes and former students are of military age. For this reason it is likely that the proportion of men and women in service is larger for Evansville College than for most colleges and universities. For example, Evansville College has approximately 580 men graduates. Of this num¬ ber 138 are known to be in military service — almost 25 percent. To all statistics used in this article a generous allowance must be added for men and women in service whose names the College has not obtained. The list is being added to almost every day. On February 25 the mailing list of service men and women held 645 names, divided as follows: In the U 5 Overseas and On Sea Duty Army .381 97 478 Navy and Coast Guard.1 12 41 153 Marines . 9 5 14 Total .502 143 645 Allowing for the fact that word of shipment overseas is often slow in reaching the of¬ fice, it is likely that the number in the U.S. is smaller and the number overseas larger than shown above. Of all E.C. men and women, 243 or almost 40 per cent are officers, ranking from second lieutenant to colonel in the Army and from ensign to lieutenant commander in the Navy. The importance of a college degree so far as obtaining a commission is con¬ cerned, is shown below: Total Officers Enlisted Men Total Graduates . 89 54 143 Former Students .154 348 502 Total .243 402 645 For more than a year and a half the College has maintained a close contact with her men and women. Each week the Crescent has been mailed to each one, not only in the U.S. but all over the world. Each month a letter goes to each man and woman from a member of the faculty, from the alumni secretary, or from the president. At Christmas the letter was sent by the social committee representing both students and faculty. 72 Jn fHUmortam TV LT. LOREN E.

Olmsted The year 1943-44 was a momentous one for Evansville College for it was in this year that the College Development Program — which started early in 1943 — met with great success. By early in 1944 it was clear that the first of the three buildings — the Engineering and Science Hall — was assured. Then the Alumni began its campaign to raise $50,000 as their contribution to the Student Union. In this effort the Student Body joined accepting a quota of $5000. Not only were the students successful: they were the first division in the Alumni Campaign to reach its goal. Fred Silber was general chairman for the Student Body. He was ably assisted by four captains — Ruth Bernhardt, James Bohrer, Eleanor McCool, and Robert Nie- haus. Each captain was assisted by a team of five members. A total of $5,250 was subscribed. The money contributed by the students will provide the War Memorial Room in the Union Building. Originally begun as a three year program with a goal of $650,000 the College Development Program by the spring of 1944 gave promise of reaching its goal in perhaps two years. By March 20, more than $310,000 had been subscribed. When completed the program will provide three new buildings on the campus — the Engineering and Science Hall, G ymnasium, and the Student Union. Construction of buildings will start just as soon as building materials are released. It is hoped that some of the new facilities at least may be ready very soon after the war is over. Architecturally, the new buildings will harmonize with Administration Hall though there probably will be some modification of the Collegiate Gothic style used in the first building. Like the main College building they will be of Indiana Limestone. An Interior View of the Lounge. A Homelike Piece for Relaxation. The Engineering and Science Hall is first in the College Development Program 94 V mMS - «? ♦� )� « a « U B U Architect’s drawing of pro- posed Student Union Build¬ ing.

The Servel plant has been completely converted to war work ... the making of aircraft and ordnance materiel. Servel will continue to produce the tools of war with all its strength and talent . . . this is a fighting pledge for America today. ★ ★ Those of us in the Gas Industry must be ready to meet the challenge of the forthcoming transition from a war to a peacetime eco nomy. The problems of readjustments which may be thrust upon us at short notice must not find us unprepared for action. In looking ahead, Servel is keenly conscious of this stimulating challenge and the many problems related to postwar business environment. We must find their solutions, but we cannot postpone bold planning and courageous action until after the solu¬ tions are found. In large measure the solutions will grow out of the evolutionary developments of an expanding economy. ★ ★ Today our manufacturing facilities and research skills are serving our country in the production of implements of war. Tomorrow these individual activities will once again be turned to helping achieve our nation’s goal of full employment and prosperity for all. This is a promise for America of the future.
